  • ISBN : 039957901X
  • Pages : 274 pages

Download or read book Finding Mezcal written by Ron Cooper and published by Ten Speed Press. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking and deeply personal book, Ron Cooper—a leading voice in the artisanal mezcal movement, and the person largely responsible for popularizing the spirit in the United States—shares everything he knows about this storied, culturally rich, and now hugely in-demand spirit, along with 40 recipes. In 1990, artist Ron Cooper was collaborating with craftspeople in Oaxaca, Mexico, when he found mezcal—or, as he likes to say, mezcal found him. This traditional spirit was virtually unknown in the United States at the time, and Cooper founded Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal in order to import it. Finding Mezcal recounts Cooper's love affair with the spirit and the people who make it; its meteoric rise in popularity; and the delicate balance between sharing mezcal with the world and facilitating its preservation. Each chapter introduces a new mezcal, its producer, and its place of origin, while also covering mezcal production methods and the botany of the maguey (aka agave) plant, from which mezcal is distilled. Featuring 40 recipes developed for Del Maguey by chefs and bartenders from around the world, the book is copiously illustrated with photographs, as well as Cooper's artwork and that of his friend Ken Price, who illustrated Del Maguey's now-iconic labels.

Book Reaching Out

  • Author : Francisco Jiménez
  • Publisher : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • Release : 2009-09-07
  • ISBN : 0547529538
  • Pages : 207 pages

Download or read book Reaching Out written by Francisco Jiménez and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2009-09-07 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This sequel to Breaking Through and The Circuit again brings to the forefront the daily trials of poor immigrant families . . . compelling and honest.”—School Library Journal From the perspective of the young adult he was then, Francisco Jiménez describes the challenges he faced in his efforts to continue his education. During his college years, the very family solidarity that allowed Francisco to survive as a child is tested. Not only must he leave his family behind when he goes to Santa Clara University, but while Francisco is there, his father abandons the family and returns to Mexico. This is the story of how Francisco coped with poverty, with his guilt over leaving his family financially strapped, with his self-doubt about succeeding academically, and with separation. Once again his telling is honest, true, and inspiring A Smithsonian Magazine Best Book of the Year “Rooted in the past, Jiménez’s story is also about the continuing struggle to make it in America, not only for immigrant kids but also for those in poor families. Never melodramatic or self-important, the spare episodes will draw readers with the quiet daily detail of work, anger, sorrow, and hope.”—Booklist (starred review) “In this eloquent, transfixing account, Jiménez again achieves a masterful addition to the literature of the memoir.”—Smithsonian Magazine “No one who reads these life stories will forget them. Jiménez reaches out to let us walk in his shoes, feel his pain and pride, joy and sorrow, regrets and hope.”—Sacramento Bee

Book Planning for Technical and Vocational Skills Development

Download or read book Planning for Technical and Vocational Skills Development written by Kenneth King and published by United Nations Education, Scientific & Cultural Organization. This book was released on 2010 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The position of skills development on the agenda of policy-makers and development agencies improved markedly around the turn of the 21st century. This book tracks the ways skills have gained importance both in the developing and the more industrialized world. It analyses critically the multiple ’drivers' of skills development and the linkages of skills to the knowledge economy, growth, and employment in an increasingly competitive world. It also acknowledges the many modalities and delivery systems for skills development, arguing that this institutional diversity, often spread across several ministries and training authorities, has made it more difficult to give a national account of the skills development sector. The re-emergence of skills has triggered many reform initiatives associated with TVSD, some of which have become almost ’fashions' and are in danger of being adopted without sufficient evidence of their effectiveness. This work provides cautionary advice and fresh insights that planners will find rewarding.

  • Pages : 282 pages

Download or read book The Magic Seeker written by Marla Martenson and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a lawsuit landed her in the defendant's chair of a jury trial, and another client charged back twelve- grand on his credit card, Marla, a professional matchmaker for affluent men seeking smokin' hot women was beyond frazzled. She was disheartened, and quite simply, fed up! Yearning for a less stressful and shallow situation and more appreciation for her dedication and expertise, she petitioned her guardian angel, Thomas to get on the job of finding her a way to make a living that appealed to her more esoteric side. Marla yearned for some sparkle?some magic. Over lunch one day at a vegan café, Marla received an invitation from her friend Ana. "Every Tuesday evening at his home in Malibu, a shaman named Riz Mirza channels the spirit of an American Indian called Chief Red Eagle at an event he calls 'The Circle of Light.' Spiritual seekers from all over Los Angeles flock there to receive messages from Red Eagle. It's forty dollars. A friend took me a few months ago, and it was really cool. Do you want to go?"Marla finished the last bite of her vegan mac 'n' cheese and gave her a serious look. "You mean to tell me that I can ask a spirit whatever I want for only forty bucks? Heck, I'll even drive." Los Angeles is one of the main hubs of cool, even outlandish spiritual things to do, and over the years, Marla has participated in everything from séances, yoga retreats, vegan festivals, full moon Goddess rituals, and New Age expos, but little did she know, the simple act of attending a channeling circle, she was about to embark on the most life changing and magical experience of her life thus far.

Book Highlights of Spanish Astrophysics V

Download or read book Highlights of Spanish Astrophysics V written by Jose M. Diego and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-18 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astronomy is a scienti?c discipline that has developed a rapid and impressive growth in Spain. Thirty years ago, Spain occupied a purely anecdotal presence in the international context, but today it occupies the eighth position in the world in publication of astronomical articles, and, among other successes, owns and op- ates ninety per cent of the world’s largest optical telescope GTC (Gran Telescopio Canarias). The Eighth Scienti?c Meeting of the Spanish Astronomical Society (Sociedad Espanol ̃ a de Astronom ́ a, SEA), held in Santander in July 7–11 2008, whose p- ceedings are in your hands, clearly shows the enthusiasm, motivation and quality of the present Spanish astronomical community. The event brought together 322 participants, who represent almost 50% of Spanish professional astronomers. This percentage, together with the continuously increasing, with respect to previous SEA meetings, number of oral presentations and poster contributions (179 and 127 respectively), con?rms that the SEA conferences have become a point of reference to assess the interests and achievements of astrophysical research in Spain. The most important and current topics of modern Astrophysics were taken into accountat thepreliminarymeeting,aswell as the numberandqualityofparticipants and their contributions, to select the invited speakers and oral contributors. We took a week to enjoy the high quality contributions submitted by Spanish astronomers to the Scienti?c Organizing Committee. The selection was dif?cult. We wish to acknowledge the gentle advice and commitment of the SOC members.

Book The Politics of the Internet in Third World Development

Download or read book The Politics of the Internet in Third World Development written by Bert Hoffmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the political and developmental implications of the new information and communication technologies (NICT) in the Third World. Whereas the concept of the "digital divide" tends to focus on technological and quantitative indicators, this work stresses the crucial role played by the political regime type, the pursued development model and the specific configuration of actors and decision-making dynamics. Two starkly contrasting Third World countries, state-socialist Cuba and the Latin America's "show-case democracy" Costa Rica, were chosen for two in-depth empirical country studies.
